Dubbed the Old Pueblo, Tucson is a fast-growing city known as much for its metropolitan sophistication as for its unique blend of cultures. Vast deserts, green canyons and majestic mountain ranges form an impressive backdrop, and close proximity to the Mexican border is evident in the architecture, distinctive cuisine, lively fiestas and the annual festivals. Tucson's mild, dry climate – blessed with year-round sun – makes it a popular winter resort. Visitors can take in attractions such as the Titan Missile Museum, Biosphere 2, Reid Park Zoo, Kitt Peak Observatory and several national parks. Economically, the city is driven by electronics and missile production, and is recognized as both the premier health services center of the Southwest and the astronomy center of the world.
J.O.G.S. Gem and Jewelry Show is the largest and most popular independent jewelry trade show in the Tucson, Arizona area. Wholesale jewelry manufacturers, miners and international dealers gather at the Tucson Expo Center, the site of the J.O.G.S. show, every winter. Buyer attendance at the J.O.G.S. show exceeds 27,000, composing over 4,000 jewelry firms.
There are products at the J.O.G.S. show to suit just about any buyer. The product range covers all price points, from high end one of a kind designs to everyday popular items available at wholesale prices. Often buyers rely on the expertise of the wholesale sellers to pick out next season's hottest selling lines. Buyers can be seen purchasing large quantities at wholesale prices as well as occasional one of a kind purchases intended for personal and private collections.
